Not only did Jesus trash a church yard and tell people off at least 3 people ("be it for you as you have done") but he also said:

Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened round his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.
— Matthew 18.6, Mark 9.42 and Luke 17.2

Children will rise against parents and have them put to death.
— Matthew 10.21-22 & Mark 13.12-13.


Can you really say he forgave everyone?

Yes. Christ made it very clear that if you knock the door will be opened for you. But in order to be forgiven you first have to sincerely ask for it.

Don't be confused Jesus was not happy with sin. The church was "Trashed" for a reason.
But Jesus did come for one reason and that was to forgive the sins of man and to die on the cross so that the punishment that you, and I, and everyone rightly deserves would be paid by him. All we have to do now is accept that we are forgiven ,and begin a relationship with Christ. In this present world where its hard to find a good honest relationship between people I realize this is hard. We as people don't know how to behave in a loving relationship. Jesus will teach us just open you heart to him and he will pour in great and power full undeserved love. He can and will remold our hearts to be like his.

In my opinion the true test was identifying the fact that you were not supposed to worship *any* man.

Anyone who believes that a 'heathen' or someone not informed about jesus who has sinned knowingly or unknowingly and is going to go to hell because of not accepting Jesus 'sincerely', is pretty far out there in the fruitcake area.

This whole question/argument goes along with many other religious questions that do nothing more than distract the commoner while others make decisions that affect your life.

Opium for the masses.

forgiving and punishing for doing wrong are totally different.

If a child does something naughty, their parents are angry and punish them, but that doesn't mean that they dont forgive their child.

the church yard was trashed because people we not worshiping God there, they were stealing and cheating, selling and gambling. Jesus, being fully human as well as the Son of God, became angry at these people who rubbed God's name in the dirt. This is the reason why he trashed the Church yard.

you can philosophy on these small extracts from the Bible, you have to read what comes before and after them as well to understand them fully.

you ought to kill those who worship yet another god. Exodus 22:20 Kill any pals or kinfolk that worship a god it truly is diverse than your man or woman. Deuteronomy thirteen:6-10 Kill each and every of the inhabitants of any city the position you hit upon those that worship in a special way than you. Deuteronomy thirteen:12-16 Kill all and multiple who has non secular perspectives that are diverse than your man or woman. Deuteronomy 17:2-7 Kill absolutely everyone who refuses to take heed to a clergyman. Deuteronomy 17:12-thirteen Kill any fake prophets. Deuteronomy 18:20 Any city that doesn’t receive the followers of Jesus will be destroyed in a fashion even extra savage than that of Sodom and Gomorrah. Mark 6:11 Jude reminds us that God destroys those who don’t remember on him. Jude 5 Don’t go jointly with non-Christians. Don’t receive them into your position or maybe replace greeting with them. 2 John a million:10 Shun those who disagree consisting of your non secular perspectives. Romans 16:17

Yes.

But sin doesn't go unpunished.

There are consequences. Read the whole chapter around those verses, they teach good life lessons.

Example:

A child disobeys his parent. The parent loves the child but the parent must spank the child to teach him a lesson. The child cries and is sorry for what he did.

The parent then forgives his/her child, because the child is truely sorry and wants to 'repent' (turn from his old ways) in so many words.

God can't forgive you until you ask him to.

I think that he meant discord among people after he had taught them new things. Some people would believe in him, and others would not, it would bring discord into families and even wars.
"it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened" does not speak about not forgiving, but about perdition: those who commit sin are as well as dead. They might have been drowned as well, and their chances for salvation are nil, unless they repent.

Your way of thinking agrees with mine. However, I am confident that no matter what the sin, He has forgiveness for all the heartfelt repented. He is angry at the sin but He will love the sinner who gives up the evil way for the righteous way.

I don't think you understand. Jesus is hated, not hates in your verses.
Luke 17:2 actually answers your own question.
